Owner Operator - Homebuilding Division

Homebuilding Owner-Operator Opportunity

In the past five years, our client has grown into one of the fastest growing networks of homebuilding companies in the US, and they are poised for significant growth and expansion. The company is building a compelling reputation in their industry, has expanded into 12 states, and is aggressively moving into new markets.

Our client's Owner-Operator model follows a simple strategy: buy finished lots and provide quality housing at a price that median-income households can afford. That's why we're looking for homebuilding and construction experts who are interested in growing your impact and your bottom line. Our client provides the capital and capability to help you start a new homebuilding business in any sizeable metro area in the United States. Owner-Operators start their businesses lean as "one-person-shops." This approach enables them to organize every aspect of the company correctly before hiring employees and scaling the business. The business model focuses on the acquisition of finished lots and building a limited number of proven value-oriented plans at launch. Homes are typically offered for sale at drywall stage, without the sale of options or changes. This allows for a straightforward process, which provides for lower costs and excellent home values for customers. This position can be based in the Cincinnati or Dayton, Ohio markets.
